WHO SAYS MOTORISTS CAN'T SUE FOR DISCRIMINATION
Massachusetts TurnPike sued for discrimination against interstate E-ZPass drivers Posted Sun, 2008-10-12 20:59
A class action lawsuit has been filed against the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority over its denial of transponder discounts to E-ZPass drivers that it grants to users of its own transponder branded FAST LANE. The suit filed in US District Court in White Plains NY on behalf of New York motorists visiting Massachusetts charges the state Turnpike with overcharging and discrimination against a class of interstate drivers in violation of the three clauses of the US Constitution and one US law:
- 14th Amendment's equal protection clause
- Interstate Commerce clause (art 1, par 8, cl 3)
- Privileges and Immunities clause Art IV
- plaintiff's civil rights 42USC1983

CONT. Pawa's suit also complains that FAST LANE signage says "E-ZPass Accepted" but fails to say warn that discounts are denied: "There is no warning posted..." The law suit calls the sign E-ZPass Accepted "fraudulent concealment" and "deception" because there is no warning that E-ZPass customers don't get the same tolls as FAST LANE customers.
The claim is made that the discrimination against E-ZPass users is "wholly arbitrary" and "does not advance any legitimate government purpose." This is held to violate the Equal Protection Clause in the 14th Amendment.
The suit is filed by Law Offices of Matthew F Pawa of West Newton MA.
It seeks equal discounts for E-ZPass users, and compensation for the class of motorists who have used transponders.
Pawa's suit acknowledges that the Mass Pike solicits New Yorkers to join the FAST LANE program, so he concedes they have the opportunity to get the discounted tolls.

CONT. In June 2002 the Mass Pike board voted to give state residents with FAST LANE transponders a discount on tolls charged for cash and for non-residents with transponders. Under the initial discount program Massachusetts residents with FAST LANE would get 25c off the $1.00 tolls at Allston-Brighton and MA128, and 50c off the $3.00 tolls at the Williams and Sumnerr tunnels. These tolls went into effect July 1, 2002.
State government lawyers immediately expressed concern that restricting the discount to Massachusetts residents was unconstitutional. Wiithin days the discount was changed from a Residents Discount Program to a FAST LANE Discount Program, and all reference to the program being only for state residents was dropped. Major protest was not coming from far away New Yorkers but from northeastern Connecticut and Rhode Island residents,

I posted it for the benefit of some of the Sun News posters that keep saying that bikers can't sue anyone because they are not a protected group. I think the article clearly proves them wrong...

One thing he has accomplished other then taxes. With the exception of a few he has united a brotherhood and sisterhood like I have not seen before. Doesn't matter if you are a patch , wannabe, wet butt rider , Honda or HD. We are one. And together we are an 800 lb Gorilla.

Whats up with the sun news? No biker articles since the letter from the supreme court.. Think they are trying to hide the publicity from reaching anyone?? I'm sure rice and rhoads has said something about it. Has anyone else noticed there also appears to be a lot of disabled links on their site also Seems they've lost a lot of tape lately....hmm, I wonder what's up with that. Good thing back-up copies are plentiful now that everyone surfs the web and nothing is ever really deleted, no matter how hard you try.
